2019 Saha Airlines Boeing 707 crash
On 14 January 2019, a Boeing 707 operated by Saha Airlines on a cargo flight crashed at Fath Air Base, near Karaj, Alborz Province in Iran. Fifteen of the sixteen people on board were killed. This aircraft was the last civil Boeing 707 in operation.


2019 Saha Airlines Boeing 707 crash, Aircraft
The aircraft involved was a Boeing 707-3J9C, c/n 21128, registration EP-CPP. The aircraft was owned by the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force and had been leased to Saha Airlines. The aircraft was 42 years old at the time. The aircraft had first flown on 19 November 1976 and was delivered that month to the Imperial Iranian Air Force as 5-8312. It had been transferred to Saha Airlines on 27 February 2000, and was re-registered EP-SHK.


2019 Saha Airlines Boeing 707 crash, Aircraft
It was substantially damaged by an uncontained engine failure on 3 August 2009, whilst on a flight from Ahvaz International Airport to Mehrabad International Airport, Tehran. An emergency landing was made at Ahvaz; the aircraft was subsequently repaired. It was returned to the IRIAF in December 2015 and returned to Saha Airlines in May 2016, registered EP-CPP.


2019 Saha Airlines Boeing 707 crash, Accident
The aircraft was on an international cargo flight carrying meat from Manas International Airport in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, to Payam International Airport in Karaj, Iran, but the flight crew actually landed at Fath Air Base. The crew probably mistook Fath Air Base's runway with the much longer Payam International Airport runway, as the two runways are just a few kilometres apart, and on an almost identical alignment. A 707 generally requires a runway length more than 2,500 m (8,200 ft), but the runway at Fath Air Base is only 1,300 metres (4,300 ft). Poor weather conditions were also reported.


2019 Saha Airlines Boeing 707 crash, Accident
The aircraft overran the runway, crashed through a wall, and came to rest after colliding with a house in the neighbourhood of Farrokhabad, Fardis County, Alborz Province. The houses involved were empty at the time of the crash, and no one on the ground was injured. Following the crash, a fire developed. Early reports gave the number of people on board as either 16 or 17 (one a woman), all but one of whom died. The sole survivor was Farshad Mahdavinejad, the aircraft's flight engineer, who was taken to Shariati Hospital in a critical condition.


2019 Saha Airlines Boeing 707 crash, Accident
In a possibly related incident from 16 November 2018, a Taban Airlines MD-88 carrying 155 people twice attempted to land on this runway, mistaking it for the longer 3,659 m (12,005 ft) Payam runway, which is nearly in line. On its first approach, the plane reached an altitude of 1 m (3.3 ft) before aborting the attempt, but eventually continued on for a safe landing at Payam after an aborted second attempt at Fath.


2019 Saha Airlines Boeing 707 crash, Investigation
An investigation was opened into the accident. The cockpit voice recorder was recovered from the wreckage on 14 January. The flight data recorder and the control display unit were also recovered.

2019 Saint Francis Cougars football team, Game summaries, St. Francis (IL)
The Saint Francis Cougars traveled to Joliet, Illinois to take on the other St. Francis in a non-conference contest. After the Fighting Saints won the opening toss and deferred possession of the ball, the Cougars returned the opening kickoff to the Fighting Saints' 26-yard line. The first play from scrimmage resulted in a touchdown pass, the first of 7 TD passes thrown in the game by Cougar quarterbacks to 5 different receivers. The outcome was never in doubt as the Cougars built a lead of 56-0 before the Fighting Saints tallied the last touchdown of the game. For his 6 touchdown passes, Cougar starting quarterback Matt Crable was named the Mid-States Football Association's Mideast League Offensive Player of the Week.


2019 Saint Francis Cougars football team, Game summaries, Robert Morris
The Cougars traveled to the Chicago area for another non-conference MSFA cross-over game. This week's opponent was the Robert Morris Eagles. The weather was another force to be dealt with as it rained steadily and harshly for almost the entire game. The Eagles were the first to score, taking a 3–0 lead on a first quarter field goal. That lead was short-lived, however, as Saint Francis scored on their following possession. After a failed pass on first down, the Cougars' PJ Dean took a handoff and raced 78 yards down the sidelines for a touchdown.


2019 Saint Francis Cougars football team, Game summaries, Robert Morris
After the extra point was converted, the Cougars led 7–3. On the following kickoff, USF recovered an Eagles' fumble at the 18 yard line, and they scored 4 plays later on a 6-yard pass to Dan Ricksy. A failed extra point kick left USF leading 13–3. Still in the first quarter, Robert Morris ran 3 plays after they received the kick-off, and they punted the ball on 4th down. USF punt returner Matt Kominkiewicz caught the ball and returned it 83 yards for another USF touchdown, finishing the first quarter with a 20–3 lead. The TD punt return by Matt K. made him the first returner in the history of Saint Francis football to have returned both a kickoff and a punt for a touchdown. The return was also the longest TD return ever recorded by a USF player.


2019 Saint Francis Cougars football team, Game summaries, Robert Morris
The Cougars added 9 points in the second quarter to take a 29–3 lead into the half. The third quarter was scoreless, but Robert Morris made the end of the game exciting when they scored a touchdown, recovered an onside kick, scored another touchdown, and then recovered a second onside kick. But the USF defense stopped further efforts by the Eagles to advance the ball, and the game ended with the final score of 29–16.


2019 Saint Francis Cougars football team, Game summaries, St. Ambrose
It wasn't always pretty, but the #3-ranked Cougars walked away with a Homecoming Game victory over the St. Ambrose Fighting Bees. The final score was 31–13. The Cougars scored a pair of first quarter touchdowns, and they added a field goal in the second quarter to take a 17–0 lead into halftime. After receiving the opening kickoff, USF's opening drive was halted. The Cougars punted the ball, but the team got the ball back after three St. Ambrose plays failed to gain a first down. The Cougars returned the subsequent punt to the St. Ambrose 41-yard line. Three plays and a first down moved the ball to the 30-yard line, and the 4th play was a 30-yard scoring pass from Matt Crable to Matt Kominkiewicz.


2019 Saint Francis Cougars football team, Game summaries, St. Ambrose
Later in the quarter, another USF drive started at the St. Ambrose 41-yard line. A 17-yard pass moved the ball to the 24-yard line. Two plays later, Crable handed the ball to Martel Williams who then dashed 24 yards to the end zone and another USF score.


2019 Saint Francis Cougars football team, Game summaries, St. Ambrose
A second quarter field goal of 24 yards by Gavin Gardner completed the first half scoring. The Cougar offense continued to sputter after the half, being held scoreless in the third quarter. The Fighting Bees took the third quarter opening kickoff and marched 79 yards for the only score of the quarter.


2019 Saint Francis Cougars football team, Game summaries, St. Ambrose
Some much-welcomed life was produced in the 4th quarter when Crable threw a pass to the sidelines that was caught by Casey Coll. Coll then sped 64 yards for a Cougar touchdown that extended the lead to 24–7. Later in the quarter, Crable completed another touchdown pass to Kominkiewicz, this one going for 28 yards to widen the lead to 31–7. The score remained that way for most of the rest of the quarter. With time expiring and the game coming to an end, the Fighting Bees scored a touchdown pass on the last play of the game. The point-after kick was no good, bringing the final score to 31–13.


2019 Saint Francis Cougars football team, Game summaries, St. Ambrose
The Cougars offense hurt itself multiple times, losing the ball four times during the game. Benefiting from the two fumble recoveries and two interceptions, the Fighting Bees won the time of possession battle 31:56 to 28:04.

Next week, unbeaten #3 USF travels to unbeaten #6 Marian University to begin conference play in a rival game that awards the Franciscan Bowl trophy to the victor.


2019 Saint Francis Cougars football team, Game summaries, Marian
For Saint Francis, the playoffs began this week. With 3 games in October against ranked teams, and a fourth game against a respected local rival, the month's game outcomes will have a big impact on the seeding USF receives if it gets invited to play in the post-season tournament.


2019 Saint Francis Cougars football team, Game summaries, Marian
The game began well for Saint Francis. They kicked the ball to Marian, and the defense eventually forced a punt. The USF offense took over at that point. They drove the ball to midfield, but a fumble was recovered by Marian to halt the progress. Marian took over and proceeded to march downfield for a touchdown and a 7–0 lead. USF never recovered. They remained behind for the entire rest of the game, and they lost by a final score of 28–7. This was the first time in 35 games that Saint Francis had not led or been tied for the lead at some point in a game.


2019 Saint Francis Cougars football team, Game summaries, Marian
In the second quarter, the Cougars tried a 4th down play. They failed to convert it into a first down, and the ball returned to Marian. The Marian drive produced a score for the first of three consecutive drives, with the middle one being scored on a 1-yard plunge by the Cougars' Martel Williams. After Marian answered with another touchdown of their own, the score was 21–7. Saint Francis kicked a field goal as time expired in the first half to cut the deficit to 21–10.


2019 Saint Francis Cougars football team, Game summaries, Marian
The third quarter was scoreless as both team provided a strong defensive effort. USF controlled the ball for over 10 minutes of the quarter, but Marian's defense stiffened when key plays were attempted by the Cougars. The possession game then ended any hopes of a USF rally. The USF defense could not get the ball out of the hands of the Marian offense. USF completed a scoreless second half as Marian possessed the ball for over 13 minutes of the final 15-minute quarter. Marian scored the only points in the quarter, an insurance touchdown to bring the score to the final margin.


2019 Saint Francis Cougars football team, Game summaries, Concordia
For the first time since 2016, the Cougars entered a regular season game as the underdog. The #4 Concordia team beat the Cougars last season 7–3 on the Cardinals' home field, so the Cougars were also looking to avoid a second consecutive loss to the visiting team. USF set the early pace, scoring two first quarter touchdowns to take a 13–0 lead. The first score came on a one-yard run by Matt Crable, and the second occurred after USF's River Walsh blocked a punt that was then scooped up by Nick Lucas and returned for the score. That's the way the first quarter ended.


2019 Saint Francis Cougars football team, Game summaries, Concordia
USF scored first in the second quarter to extend their lead. The score came on a 5-yard pass completion from Crable to Dylan Hunley. Concordia took the following kickoff and returned the ball 42 yards. That good field position was leveraged by Concordia when they scored a 3-yard touchdown after a 27-yard pass completion. After a failed extra point try, the score was USF 20, Concordia 6. Each team added another touchdown before the halftime break to bring the halfway score USF 27, Concordia 13. The USF score came on a 4-yard touchdown pass from Crable to Zenden Dellinger to extend their lead to the largest of the game, a 21-point margin at 27–6.


2019 Saint Francis Cougars football team, Game summaries, Concordia
After a scoreless third quarter, things got interesting and rewarded those fans who stayed to watch the entire game. On a play when Crable's pass was intercepted, Crable himself was injured and had to leave the game. He did not return; the quarterback duties were taken over by backup Heath Simmons.


2019 Saint Francis Cougars football team, Game summaries, Concordia
Concordia was moving the ball at the end of the third quarter, and they completed a touchdown pass a mere four seconds into the final quarter. They converted the extra point to close within one score, now trailing 27–20.


2019 Saint Francis Cougars football team, Game summaries, Concordia
Concordia kicked the ball to the Cougars. After a fourth down try failed, the ball was turned over on downs to the Cardinals at the Concordia 38-yard line. Concordia then methodically completed a 62-yard march to the end zone. The extra point try was good, and the score was now tied, 27-27.


2019 Saint Francis Cougars football team, Game summaries, Concordia
On the following drive, USF was moving the ball, and it looked like it would result in a score and a return to the lead for the Cougars. But a Simmons' pass was intercepted at the Concordia goal line, and ball control returned to the Cardinals with 4:48 left in regulation.


2019 Saint Francis Cougars football team, Game summaries, Concordia
The Cardinals took advantage of the turnover. Starting at their own 20-yard line, Concordia moved downfield to the Saint Francis 22-yard line. With 17 seconds left on the clock, they set up for a 29-yard field goal that would put them in the lead for the first time in the ball game. But Concordia never got the lead. USF defender Matt Swartz blocked the kick, the Cougars' second blocked kick in the game. The ball was retrieved by USF's Jack Givens at the 35-yard line, and he raced 65 yards for the unexpected USF lead. A likely loss was turned into the ultimate victory with 7 seconds left on the clock. The time expired, and USF walked off the field with a 34–27 upset victory.

2019 Saint Petersburg gubernatorial election
The 2019 Saint Petersburg gubernatorial election was held on 8 September. The acting governor Alexander Beglov won, getting more than 60% of the votes.


2019 Saint Petersburg gubernatorial election
Initially 28 candidates were declared, but finally only three were admitted and confirmed: Mikhail Amosov, Alexander Beglov, and Nadezhda Tikhonova.


2019 Saint Petersburg gubernatorial election, Background
Until October 2018, Georgy Poltavchenko was the Governor of Saint Petersburg, his term expiring in 2019. In August 2018, Poltavchenko announced that he would run in 2019, but on 3 October 2018 President Vladimir Putin proposed him to become Chairman of the Board of Directors of United Shipbuilding Corporation. After the resignation of Poltavchenko, Alexander Beglov was appointed as the Acting Governor.


2019 Saint Petersburg gubernatorial election, Declared candidates
At the stage of candidate nomination, 28 people were declared. Some of these were supported by the leading parties in Russia. So Vladimir Bortko, member of the State Duma, was nominated by the Communist Party of the Russian Federation; Mikhail Mashkovtsev, former governor of Kamchatka Oblast was recommended by the Communists of Russia while Marina Shishkina, member of the St. Petersburg Legislative Assembly, and Nadezhda Tikhonova got a support of A Just Russia party. Boris Vishnevsky, member of the St. Petersburg Legislative Assembly, was nominated by the democratic Yabloko party. The Liberal Democratic Party supported a candidacy of Oleg Kapitanov, member of the St. Petersburg Legislative Assembly. Mikhail Amosov was suggested by the Civic Platform, and the acting governor Beglov declared himself as independent.


2019 Saint Petersburg gubernatorial election, Declared candidates
Finally, only 3 candidates were admitted and confirmed their interest in participation: Amosov, Beglov and Tikhonova. Further 23 people were denied admission and 2 applicants (including Bortko) withdrew a candidacy.


2019 Saint Petersburg gubernatorial election, Declared candidates
During the pre-election discussions, other names were also mentioned as possible candidates but were not officially declared.


2019 Saint Petersburg gubernatorial election, Declared candidates
Among these are Igor Artemyev, a head of the Federal Antimonopoly Service (Yabloko); Igor Albin, former vice governor of St. Petersburg, former Minister of Regional Development (endorsed Beglov) (United Russia); Krasimir Vranski, a public figure, head of the public organization "Beautiful Petersburg”; Maksim Shevchenko, Member of the Vladimir Oblast Legislative Assembly; Oksana Dmitriyeva, member of the St. Petersburg Legislative Assembly, former member of the State Duma, ex-Minister of Labor and Social Development (Party of Growth); Ksenia Sobchak, former First Daughter of St. Petersburg, 2018 presidential candidate (Party of Changes).


2019 Saint Petersburg gubernatorial election, Final candidates
Among the three final candidates, Mikhail Amosov was considered to be a conservative liberal while Nadezhda Tikhonova was seen as a member of the left.


2019 Saint Petersburg gubernatorial election, Final candidates
Alexander Beglov was associated with the pro-Putin party United Russia despite his formal candidacy as an independent figure. Alexander Beglov was even before the election expected to win the election, with support from United Russia. However the election result still could not be completely predictable because the ruling party, United Russia, has steadily declined in popularity since the summer of 2018 when it approved the retirement age hike in the State Duma (the opposition parties and overwhelming majority of population were against such a change). Many ordinary Russians henceforth consider a relation of any politician to United Russia as a fact that could compromise their reputation, which is why some people thought that protest votes were a possibility.


2019 Saint Petersburg gubernatorial election, Results
The table below represents the result of election. In fact, a positive acceptance of previous achievements of Beglov was not overweighted by emotions related to the pension reform.


2019 Saint Petersburg gubernatorial election, Results
These results were published on 11 September. From 18 September, Beglov is officially a governor of Saint-Petersburg.

2019 Salute to America
The 2019 Salute to America was an event arranged by the Trump administration held on Independence Day, July 4, 2019, in Washington, D.C. It took place at the National Mall and included presentations of U.S. military vehicles, an address by President Donald Trump from the Lincoln Memorial, flyovers by military aircraft, and a fireworks display. The event occurred alongside pre-existing annual Independence Day events such as the National Independence Day Parade and the PBS-televised A Capitol Fourth concert. It was the first time a U.S. president had addressed a crowd at the National Mall on Independence Day in 68 years.


2019 Salute to America
There was controversy leading up to the event. Trump's critics expressed concern that the celebration would be a political event reminiscent of his campaign rallies, especially in the early stages of his 2020 re-election campaign. Concerns were also raised over the involvement of the military, the distribution of VIP tickets to donors and members of the Republican Party, as well as the cost of the event.


2019 Salute to America
Trump's speech focused largely on praising the United States' cultural and military accomplishments and featured themes of American exceptionalism and patriotism.


2019 Salute to America, Background
In 2017, President Donald Trump was invited by French President Emmanuel Macron to attend the Bastille Day military parade in Paris  on July 14, in honor of the countries' diplomatic relations and the centenary of the United States' entry into World War I. Following the parade, Trump expressed admiration for the event and said he wanted the United States to "top it" with a similar, military-focused event. Trump proposed a military parade be held in Washington on Veterans Day in 2018, in honor of the centenary of World War I's conclusion. However, Trump later withdrew the proposal due to cost concerns.


2019 Salute to America, Background
In February 2019, Trump announced on Twitter plans for a "Salute to America" celebration on Independence Day, promising entertainment, a "major" fireworks display and "an address by your favorite President, me!" It was later revealed that this speech would be given from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Trump would become the first president to speak there since Harry Truman marked the 175th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in an address from the National Mall on Independence Day, 1951.


2019 Salute to America, Background
The National Park Service stated that Trump's event was not expected to conflict with other traditional Independence Day events held at the Capitol like the National Independence Day Parade, the televised A Capitol Fourth concert, and its associated fireworks display— although, due to Salute to America, fireworks were launched from West Potomac Park, rather than the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. The producers of A Capitol Fourth distanced themselves from the president's planned festivities, emphasizing they were an independent and separate event. Due to Trump's presence, the Federal Aviation Administration suspended flights at Reagan Airport during the event.


2019 Salute to America, Funding
The Department of Defense and the White House have not confirmed the total cost of the event. As of July 11, 2019, a "rough total" cost was reported to be $5.4 million.


2019 Salute to America, Funding
It was reported that $2.45 million in entrance and recreation fees were diverted from the National Park Service to cover logistical and medical services—funds normally intended for maintenance and improvements to national parks. D.C. mayor Muriel Bowser said the city's additional security costs for the event amounted to $1.7 million, not including police management of demonstrations. Funding was provided by the District's Emergency Planning and Security Fund; a congressional committee was subsequently formed on July 12 to seek reimbursement of this fund by the White House.


2019 Salute to America, Funding
The military's role in Salute to America cost the Department of Defense $1.2 million, including the cost of flying hours for the aerial demonstrations and logistics, particularly transportation for the two M1 Abrams tanks, the two M2 Bradley IFVs, and related equipment. The Pentagon stated that this funding came from training budgets, but did not provide a breakdown of the figure, causing speculation that $1.2 million is a low estimate.


2019 Salute to America, Funding
The Department of Defense noted it has a "long history of showcasing military assets to the country" and spends comparable amounts of money, if not more, during events such as Fleet Week. For example, the 2017 San Francisco Fleet Week cost $1.8 million, and the 2018 Los Angeles Fleet Week cost $1.6 million.


2019 Salute to America, Funding
Fireworks by Grucci produced the fireworks display, while Phantom Fireworks donated $750,000 in additional shells; both companies donated a combined $1.3 million in pyrotechnics for the show. The display was held in tandem with annual Independence Day fireworks produced by Garden State Fireworks under contract with the National Park Service. It was subsequently promoted as surpassing the Bicentennial fireworks as one of the largest fireworks displays in Washington, D.C., in terms of size and length.


2019 Salute to America, Funding, Lobbying concerns
ABC News reported that Phantom Fireworks CEO Bruce Zoldan had met with Trump in May 2019 to discuss proposed expansions of U.S. trade tariffs against China that would have added tariffs on pyrotechnics. China is the largest producer of pyrotechnics in the world, and the majority of fireworks in the U.S. are imported from there. At the G20 summit the following month, Trump announced he would resume trade talks with China and postpone additional tariffs. In an interview with WTOP-FM, Zoldan stated that discussions regarding Phantom's involvement in the show pre-dated the meeting by two months and that the meeting was a general discussion on tariffs, not from the perspective of any specific industry.


2019 Salute to America, Participants
Salute to America featured fireworks, seven flyovers, and music, as well as the first address from the National Mall on Independence Day by a sitting president in 68 years. Trump's address honored the history of the United States and praised the achievements of historical American figures, including George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Betsy Ross, Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Amelia Earhart, Douglas MacArthur, Fred Trump Dwight D. Eisenhower, Martin Luther King Jr., Jackie Robinson, and John Glenn. Special guests included Florida hurricane volunteer Tina "Angel" Belcher, cancer biologist Emil J. Freireich, Civil rights movement hero Clarence Henderson, and flight director for NASA's Apollo 11 mission Gene Kranz.


2019 Salute to America, Participants
Salute to America featured an overarching theme of American military appreciation and patriotism. Trump requested the inclusion of tanks, and that the chiefs of the Air Force, Army, Marines, and Navy stand next to him on stage during the event. However, due to preparations beginning only weeks prior to the occasion, most of the joint chiefs were on leave or traveling and were not available to attend. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Joseph Dunford Jr., was available and attended, joining the president and then-Acting Secretary of Defense Mark Esper on stage halfway through the president's address. Trump had wanted tanks to be part of the parade, but was told they were too heavy and could "tear up the streets". Instead, two Abrams tanks and two Bradley infantry fighting vehicles were put on static display.


2019 Salute to America, Participants
The United States Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon performed exhibition drills and the Marine Drum and Bugle Corps, Army Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps and the Army Band (Pershing's Own) provided musical performances. The Army Band performed several renditions during Trump's address, including "Semper Paratus", "The U.S. Air Force", "Anchors Aweigh", "Marines' Hymn", and "The Army Goes Rolling Along" (all of which make up the Armed Forces Medley).


2019 Salute to America, Participants
Military equipment representing each service branch of the United States Armed Forces were showcased and demonstrated. Two M1A2 Abrams tanks and two M2 Bradley IFVs from the 3rd Infantry Division were put on stationary display around the Lincoln Memorial for the public while aircraft representing each service branch conducted flyovers during Trump's address. Trump introduced the Coast Guard first, represented by two HH-60 Jayhawks and an HH-65 Dolphin helicopter from Coast Guard Station, Annapolis, Maryland. Subsequent flyovers included: a B-2 Spirit from the 509th Bomb Wing escorted by two F-22 Raptors from the 1st


2019 Salute to America, Participants
Fighter Wing, two F-35 Joint Strike Fighters from VFA-147 and two F/A-18 Hornets from VFA-37 together in diamond formation, two V-22 Ospreys from HMX-1, and four AH-64 Apache helicopters from the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade. Presidential aircraft, particularly the Air Force One aircraft and the next-generation VH-92 Marine One, also participated. The aerial demonstrations were followed up by a performance by the Navy's Blue Angels flight demonstration squadron.


2019 Salute to America, Attendance and media coverage
A perimeter was constructed around the Lincoln Memorial with wire fencing spanning the Reflecting Pool to separate the ticketed areas intended for VIP spectators from the public. VIP tickets were distributed to the Republican National Committee (RNC), government officials, GOP donors, and other political allies. Politico reported that some donors and Republican Party members were reluctant to attend the event as they were already on vacation elsewhere. It also reported that lotteries were being held to give away blocks of 10 tickets each to White House employees. This is a common practice for White House events, but not normally in such a large quantity.


2019 Salute to America, Attendance and media coverage
Concerns over the attendance at the event were compared to the Trump administration's claims regarding crowd size and viewership of his 2017 inauguration. Official estimates of the number of attendees were not immediately available. Multiple photographs taken during the event show large crowds both within the guest section and of the public on the National Mall, including tourists and general event-goers. Weather affected the event; rainstorms passed through the area, while temperature inversion caused the smoke from the fireworks display to accumulate, partially obscuring spectators' views of the show.


2019 Salute to America, Attendance and media coverage
Of the major cable news channels, only Fox News Channel agreed to air continual live coverage, with CNN and MSNBC initially declining in favor of previously scheduled encore programming. C-SPAN also aired the event. The news departments of the Big Three television networks relegated live coverage to their respective digital platforms. Both CNN and Fox News carried Trump's speech given in front of the Lincoln Memorial live. CNN's coverage of the event averaged 1.5 million viewers, with 353,000 viewers among adults 25–54 years old—a key demographic for advertisers.


2019 Salute to America, Attendance and media coverage
MSNBC's coverage garnered a total audience of 374,000 viewers and 42,000 among 25–54 year olds. Fox News had the largest viewership, with an average 4.6 million viewers and 793,000 among adults aged 25–54. This beat CNN and MSNBC's combined viewership in both categories and topped NBC's prime time coverage of the Macy's Independence Day fireworks show from New York City, which averaged 3.8 million total viewers—its lowest ratings in four years. It was Fox News Channel's highest Independence Day audience since its founding in October 1996.


2019 Salute to America, Reception
President Trump's supporters and allies considered the event to be a display of the president's pride in the country and its military. Comparisons were drawn to "Honor America Day"—a 1970 Independence Day rally at the Capitol in support of Richard Nixon, in the wake of controversy over the invasion of Cambodia and the Kent State shootings. He appeared via a pre-recorded speech to attendees. That event also faced opposition, notably by anti-Vietnam War protesters and other protesters smoking cannabis in support of its legalization.


2019 Salute to America, Reception, Pre-event concerns and criticism
Prior to the event, Michelle Cottle of The New York Times, former House Republican David Jolly, and radio host Charlie Sykes accused Trump of turning the "non-partisan" Independence Day holiday into a political event—co-opting the celebration to promote his 2020 presidential re-election campaign.


2019 Salute to America, Reception, Pre-event concerns and criticism
Pre -event concerns were also expressed over the prominent incorporation of the military; retired lieutenant general David Barno told Politico that Salute to America "looks like it's becoming much more of a Republican Party event—a political event about the president—than a national celebration of the Fourth of July" and that it was "absolutely obscene" for Trump to "[use] the armed forces in a political ploy for his reelection campaign." Some military and Pentagon officials had raised similar concerns.


2019 Salute to America, Reception, Pre-event concerns and criticism
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington noted that Department of Defense rules forbid military members from participating in political events and that the Hatch Act could also potentially apply. Some media outlets also reported on the potential damage military vehicles could cause to local roads. It was later confirmed that while military vehicles would be featured during the event, they would be parked on the National Mall and not parading.


2019 Salute to America, Reception, Pre-event concerns and criticism
Democratic Senator Tom Udall argued it was "unacceptable that the Interior Department is failing to inform Congress about how it plans to spend taxpayer money to fund the president's lavish July 4th plans, which reportedly include special access to the National Mall for the politically connected." Trump downplayed these concerns, saying that the event would cost "very little compared to what it is worth". The Republican National Committee defended its distribution of tickets, citing it as common practice for the incumbent party's committee to distribute tickets to events of this nature.


2019 Salute to America, Reception, Pre-event concerns and criticism
Journalist and writer Jeff Greenfield noted that prior presidents had given speeches on Independence Day and political parties have used the holiday as a platform since their inception. He added that the inclusion of military equipment could be excused as Trump's attempt to "emulate Thomas Jefferson" in 1801 rather than an authoritarian celebration of militarism "more common to Moscow and Pyongyang." However, Greenfield did argue that Trump, with his affinity for "over-the-top celebrations and honors", was "wreathing himself" in the monuments of the Capitol, "the most potent symbols of American history ... without any appreciation for the history that made that whole landscape possible."


2019 Salute to America, Reception, Protests
The National Park Service issued a permit allowing the activist organization Code Pink to display a Donald Trump baby balloon during the event. It was grounded and did not contain helium to enable it to float. The group also brought the animatronic Dump Trump sculpture—a caricature of Trump using his phone while sitting on a golden toilet.


2019 Salute to America, Reception, Protests
Around 5:30 pm local, an hour before Trump's speech, two members of the Revolutionary Communist Party were arrested by Secret Service officers after scuffles broke out with counter-protesters during a flag burning protest in front of the White House. One of those arrested was charged with malicious burning and felony assault on a police officer, and the other with obstructing a police investigation and resisting arrest. The Secret Service said the flag burning display occurred "outside the limits of a permit issued by the National Park Service."


2019 Salute to America, Reception, Post-event
David Smith of The Guardian acknowledged that Trump's 47-minute speech "did not fulfill his critics' worst fears of a politically partisan, campaign-style rally", and mostly avoided politics in favor of "a heroic version of American military history". However, Smith suggested that the event as a whole did "provide the bombastic show of military might that had been widely predicted" and noted the event resembled a Trump campaign rally because many audience members chanted pro-Trump slogans, wore Make America Great Again hats and held "Trump 2020" signs. He observed that "in a city that projects power through monuments, statues and its own Capitol, critics said it was the moment Trump went full Roman emperor, turning a traditionally nonpartisan day of events into a vanity project."


2019 Salute to America, Reception, Post-event
Trump was criticized for making incorrect statements about the American Revolutionary War in a section of the speech, recounting that the Continental Army "took over the airports"—airplanes were yet to be invented—and had "nothing but victory" in the Battle of Baltimore, which took place during the War of 1812, not the Revolutionary War. Trump attributed the "airports" gaffe to his teleprompter malfunctioning and being difficult to read in the rain.


2019 Salute to America, Reception, Post-event
Some Canadian news outlets took exception to Trump referencing Alexander Graham Bell's invention of the telephone as a result of the United States' "unleashed" "culture of discovery"; Bell was Scottish-born and spent time in both Canada and the United States while developing the telephone, though he did file his first patent on the telephone in the United States.


2019 Salute to America, Reception, Post-event
In a letter to Trump after the event, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser asked for reimbursement of the city's expenses, saying Salute to America had exhausted D.C.'s Emergency Planning and Security Fund, a federally funded reserve account intended to reimburse the city for extra security and anti-terrorism measures during large federal events. She said the costs of "your additional July 4th holiday activities and subsequent First Amendment demonstrations" had depleted the account and would soon leave it in the red.


2019 Salute to America, Reception, Post-event
On July 8, three Democratic members of the Senate Appropriations Committee requested the Government Accountability Office investigate the costs and legality of the event. Also on July 8, Trump announced his intentions to hold a second Salute to America event in 2020, although, in 2020, the occurrence of the event was called into question due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, with at least ten lawmakers having asked President Trump to cancel the planned second celebration. The administration nevertheless held the 2020 Salute to America on July 4, 2020.

2019 Samaria combined attack
One IDF soldier and an Israeli civilian were killed in the attack. Another Israeli civilian was seriously wounded in the attack.


2019 Samaria combined attack, Background
In the six months preceding the attack, several deadly attacks were carried out in Samaria by individual Palestinian militants who attacked Israeli civilians and soldiers, which included among others the shooting attack in the Barkan industrial zone, the shooting attack at Givat Assaf, and the attack at the Ofra junction.
